Rules for Care Of Poultry

1. Have everything clean about the place. Clean out the houses at least once every week, Annoint the roosts and cracks with Kerosene. Whitewash the interior twice year - spring and fall.
 3. Have dust bath in the yards.
 3. Don't crowd the fowls. Success depends in great measure upon this.
 4. In winter feed hot mash in the morning. We mix corn meal with hot water, adding any soft leavings from the table. Feed some green stuff, table scraps, etc., at noon, and corn at night. Corn is the best night food in winter, as it will not digest as quickly as any other, and possessing, as it does, a great deal of heat, is an excellent protection of the fowls during cold nights.
 5. Give fresh water daily, A few rus- ty nails in the drinking water acts as an excellent tonic.
 6. Supply them with ground bone, oyster shells, mortar, lime, sand, etc., all of which are excellent articles for the formation eff egg shells. Without the proper food, how can a hen lay regu- larly. [-Wisconsin Agriculturist.

A MARVEL OF PURITY.
Royal a Perfect Baking Powder-Absolutely
Free from Lime.

The Royal Baking Powder is considered by all chemists
and food analysts to be a marvel of purity, strength, and
w~holesomeness. Furthermore, it is now the only baking
powder before the public free from lime and absolutely pure.
This is due largely to the improved method by the use
of which it has been made possible to produce a perfectly
pure cream of tartar, from which all the lime has been
eliminated.
This chemically purs cream of tartar is exclusively
employed in the manufacture of the Royal Baking Powder,
so that its absolute freedom from lime and all other
extraneous substances is guaranteed.
Professor McMurtrie, late chemist in chief to the U. s.
Department of Agriculture, after analysing many samples of
cream of tartar of the market, testified to the absolute
purity of that used in the Royal Baking Powder as follows:
al have examined the cream of tartar manufactured by
the New York Tartar Company and used by the Royal
Baking Powder Company in the manufacture of their bak-
ing powder, and find it to be perfectly pure, and free from
lime in any form.
"All chemical tests to which 1 have submitted it have
proved the Royal Baking Powder perfectly h~ealthful, OF
uniform, excellent quality, and free from any deleterious
substance. WIN. MoMURTRIE, EN-, PhD,.

An Old Timer KetIres from Business

a III ANttit "
l.. r. Bresnahen. the pioneer butcher
of Cheyenne. proprietor ofthe well known
Washington market, proposes to retire
from active business after a successful
career Of nearly twenty years. During
these many years he has not been away
from his market and office two whole
months, and at no time has sickness or
other disability prevented his presence at
the Washington market for a longer
period than forty-cight hours. 1t will be
generally admitted by the public that Mr..
Bresnahen has earned the privilege of
taking a long rest, and this he proposes
to do. He has sold the Washington
market, his stock and the good will ofthe
business to his nephew, John II. Smith,
who has lived with him ever since he was
a boy, add who has for several years been
his chief salesman and manager, Mr..
Smith is favorably known to all the old
customers OF the Washington market
whom he has served SO lsng. He is a
young man of most excellent reputation,
who merits all the good words hat his
friends utter in his behalf. He is one of
the steadiest and most industrious workers
in this city, correct In all his habits and a
total abstainer from intoxicants and to-
bacco in all its forms. There is conse-
quently nc doubt about his success in his
present business venture. To such a man
there can be no failure.
The change in ownership of the Wash
ington market will not bring about any
noticeable alteration in the conduct of its
business. johnny will be behind the
counter, as heretofore, and greet his
customers with his habitual courtesy; but
the many young ladies who love to trade
at the Washington, will address the man
ager and owner after this as Mr.. Smith"

The proposed abandonment OF the
drummer system in the live stock bust
ness does not seem TO meet the approval
of the gentlemen Of the road. They have
protested against this new regulation
adopted by the National Live Stock ex-
change. The solicitors and their adher-
ents claim that Chicago was victimized by
Kansas City, st. Louis and Omaha mar
chants, and that as o o as this fact be-
comes apparent, they will recede from
their present position. A member Of a
Chicago commission firm doing a business
Of $4,000, 900 a year is represented as
saying: -Four years ago, when the Chi
cage exchange was organized, stock men
from Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado
went TO Washington with a pleuro. pneu-
monia bill, and this exchange sent money
and men to Washington to defeat it. For
this reason Alexander Swan, William
Paxton and John McShane organized and
established stockyards at Omaha. and
thereby deprived Chicago of considerable
stock trade, and if we do not have our
agents in the West, Kansas City, Omaha
and ST. Louis will reap the reward. It's
a combination to kill the shipper, and if
the rule was permitted to work it would
injure Chicago to an incomprehensible ex-
tent. If these outside points will offer a
price for stock close to the price offered by
Chicago, the stock men, knowing this,
will stop there and sell. The number of
live cattle that would go into three cars
can be shipped in one refrigerator. Ar
mour, Fowler and other big packers are
doing business at these points, and if
they increase their business they will
divert the trade from Chicago, and the
plant the packing houses have here may
be used for barns.
On the other hand, the advocates of the
resolution cutting off solicitors and that
charging fifty cents per head for cattle,
irrespective of the old rate of $40 per car,
claim that these solicitors have all trodden
over pretty much the same path, traduc-
ing each other and the firms they do not
Immediately represent, and that the stock
raisers if left alone would ship their stock
there just the same and have less trouble
getting along with the firms they do bust
ness with.
However this may be, the 'drummers'
will be on the road as usual this summer;
if not for their old houses, Tor the ones
who are outside the National exchange.
